🫨 Scientists can’t predict when an #earthquake will strike. But could clues reveal how it will rupture? A Scripps-led study of Myanmar’s 2025 magnitude 7.8 quake offers new insights that could improve hazard assessments for major faults. ⤵️

❄️🌊It’s snowing in the deep sea! Marine snow helps transport carbon into the deep ocean, and new research from Scripps Oceanography & @unilincoln shows that gooier particles can carry more than 6x as much carbon as less-sticky ones. Here's why. ⤵️ https://t.co/vcmLDK835K

🛰️🌎 A #geoid can tell us a lot about changing sea levels — but what exactly is a geoid? 🌊

Meet Scripps PhD student Tommy Stone, who uses satellite data, gravity measurements, ocean observations and computational models to study sea-level change.

By mapping California’s coastline and collecting data before and after El Niño, scientists can see exactly how the coast responds, and the elevated sea levels during El Niño offer a glimpse into how our shores could respond to future sea-level rise.

⚠️ A strong #ElNiño can bring heavier rainfall that can trigger landslides, waves that accelerate beach and cliff erosion & elevated sea levels that can worsen coastal flooding. That’s why Scripps coastal geomorphologist Adam Young & his team are closely monitoring the coast. 🧵
